A piezo ignitor is provided to light the pilot without using matches or lighters. • Models BCT2536EN and BCT2536EP are equipped with an electronic ignition system that requires 120 VAC to operate. An electrode ignitor automatically lights the pilot flame when the fireplace is turned on. • These fireplaces can accept any approved 4" B-Type venting system and must be terminated vertically through the roof using a listed type vent cap only. See venting instructions starting on page 8 for proper venting requirements. • These vented fireplaces require indoor air for combustion and must be installed in a room of sufficient size to provide adequate fresh air for safe and proper operation. The room intended for installation must be of sufficient size to meet the requirements for an unconfined space as defined in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54. Air for Combustion and Ventilation. If sufficient air for combustion is not available a makeup air kit model AK4 may be required to provide outside air to this appliance. Check your local codes as to specific requirements for make up air. • This fireplace may be installed in any room of the house provided all local codes and these installation instructions are followed. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS Determine the safest and most efficient location for your INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS B-vent fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your fireplace and termination cap. When deciding the location of your fireplace, follow these rules: • Do not connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing a separate solid fuel burning fireplace or appliance. • Do to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in high traffic areas, windy or drafty areas, or near furniture or draperies. • Proper clearances must be maintained. • If your fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace (see Figure 3). • Only trim kits supplied by INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS shall be used in the installation of this fireplace, see Accessories, page 31. • Do not install aftermarket vent dampers.

Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the back, sides or top of your fireplace, except when clearances are required from flue vent pipe, see Clearances. If recessed into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing member. A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If one is installed, it is for aesthetic purposes only and does not have to meet standard requirements for hearth extensions. If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed above your fireplace, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum 18" (45.7 cm) above the top of louver opening. When locating the termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum vent height and clearances required under code, see Venting Installation Instructions, page 9. Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding. You may paint the termination cap with 450° F (232° C) heat resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.

Therefore 36” models require 2,650 cubic feet, 42” models require 3,100 cubic feet.. If the space you wish to install the fireplace does not meet these requirements NFPA 54 details several actions that may be taken. www.SuperiorFireplaces.US.com 126741-01A INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty. • Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection • Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops • Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings The following actions will void the warranty on this product: • Installation of any damaged venting component • Unauthorized modification of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components) • Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS • Installation other than as instructed by these instructions WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. WARNING: B-type vent pipe airspace clearance to combustibles is 1" on all sides. Where the vent pipe passes through a vertical wall a listed thimble approved for use with B-type vent must be used (38FTS recommended). VENTING INSTALLATION A 4" B-type venting system must be connected to the appliance for venting to the outside of the building. The following section is provided as a guide to install a standard B-type vent installation. Standing code requirements concerning B-type vent installations may vary within your state, province or local codes jurisdiction. Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your local building code authority for specific requirements or in absence of local codes, follow Section 7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 for Category I systems using double wall B-1 vent pipe. This gas appliance must be vented to the outdoors only and may not be terminated into an attic space or into a chimney flue servicing a solid fuel burning appliance. This appliance may be vented through a manufactured chimney liner system if all are listed, inspected and approved by local codes and/or building authorities. The examples shown in Figure 10, page 10, are typical of most B-vent installations and code practices. 126741-01A WARNING: This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Example 1: Shows the minimum allowable system height and lateral offset for a 60° or greater inclination. Code specifies that offsets at 60° or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75% rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allows only one offset in the total system when at 60° or greater. The total vertical height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% rule applies. If the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized in accordance with the Category I venting tables. Example 2: Shows multiple offsets each at 45° of inclination. Multiple offsets are permitted if they do not exceed 45° of inclination. The total lengths of the two offsets are not required to meet the 75% rule. Example 3: Shows a single offset at 45° of inclination and therefore the lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75% allowable rule. www.SuperiorFireplaces.US.com 9 VENTING INSTALLATION Continued In each case the offsets must be supported and firestops must be positioned wherever the vent must pass through a sub-floor, ceiling joist or an attic overhang. The vent pipe must terminate vertically into a listed type vent cap and extend a sufficient height through an approved roof flashing, roof jack or a roof thimble. At all points the listed clearances must be maintained. Vent terminations must be located in accordance with height and proximity rules of NFPA No. 54. These rules apply to vents at 12" diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 foot distance from a vertical wall or obstruction (see Figure 11). If venting horizontally through a side wall becomes necessary, a listed thimble approved for use with B-type vent must be used. Check with your local codes before venting through a side wall. Some codes areas allow the use of existing Btype vent systems if the system is at or above the recommended diameter of the flue. The flue connection must be made using listed B-type connectors and the existing system must be code inspected for damage and proper installation. It is not recommended that this appliance be common vented with and existing gas burning appliance. However, if it becomes necessary to common vent the appliance. The venting system must be sized and configured in accordance with the common venting guides Appendix G of the current National Fuel Gas Code NFPA No. 54/ANSI Z223.1. Note: Before connecting this appliance to an existing vent system or a common venting system consult with your local architect planner, or building official.

If your gas supply is not the correct gas type, do not install fireplace. See dealer where you purchased your fireplace for proper gas type fireplace or to purchase gas conversion kit (see Accessories, page 31). INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes. CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply. Installation Items Needed Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below. • external regulator (supplied by installer) • piping (check local codes) • sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) • equipment shutoff valve * • test gauge connection * • sediment trap • tee joint • pipe wrench • approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) * An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff valve from your retailer. For propane/LP connection only, installer must supply an external regulator. External regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with vent pointing down as shown in Figure 19. Pointing vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet. 126741-01A CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 20).

The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to appliance. Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves. WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas. We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 20, page 15. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly. CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY Installation Items Needed • 3/4" and a 7/8" open end wrench or adjustable wrench • sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided) 1. Remove lower louver door panel by lifting up until disengaged. Swing forward and out of locating slots at bottom. 2. Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through one access hole on each side of fireplace cabinet. 3. Attach flexible gas line from gas supply to the 1/2" flare fitting provided on control valve (see Figure 21). 4.
